How to Change the Database Name in Applications (EBS)

 
1. To get the db Name and SID - 
 
 
SQL> SELECT NAME FROM V$DATABASE; 
SQL> SELECT INSTANCE FROM V$THREAD; 
 
 
2. Force a checkpoint 
SQL> alter system switch logfile; 
 
 
3. Backup controlfile to trace. 
 
 
SQL> conn /as sysdba 
Connected. 
SQL> alter database backup controlfile to trace resetlogs; 
 
 
Database altered. 
 
 
SQL> exit 
 
 
[oracle@app2 9.2.0]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/admin/PROD_app2/udump/ 
[oracle@app2 udump]$ ls -lrt 
 
 
3. Shutdown immediate/normal. Must not be shutdown abnormally using SHUTDOWN ABORT. 
SQL> shutdown immediate 
[oracle@app2 u02]$ lsnrctl stop PROD 
 
 
4. Change the dbName etc in ctrl file trace and save as .sql file (Change REUSE ---> SET) 
********************************************************************************** 
*** In the sql file, *** 
*** Update the following line - *** 
*** CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE \"PROD\" RESETLOGS NOARCHIVELOG
*** 
*** to *** 
*** CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE SET DATABASE \"TEST\" RESETLOGS
NOARCHIVELOG ***
********************************************************************************** 
 
 
5. Change db_name in parameter file 
[oracle@app2 udump]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs 
[oracle@app2 u02]$ cp proddb/9.2.0/dbs/initPROD.ora proddb/9.2.0/dbs/initTEST.ora 
[oracle@app2 dbs]$ vi initTEST.ora 
 
 
6. Rename prod<> to test<> from a SEPARATE TERMINAL and Relink ORACLE_HOME - 
[oracle@app2 proddb]$ cd /u02 
[oracle@app2 u02]$ mv proddb testdb 
[oracle@app2 u02]$ cd /u02/testdb/9.2.0/appsutil/install/ 
[oracle@app2 install]$ sh adlnkoh.sh 
adlnkoh.sh started at Mon May 7 17:16:30 IST 2007 
logfile located in /u02/testdb/9.2.0/install/make.log 
 
 
adlnkoh.sh completed sucessfully 
[oracle@app2 install]$ echo $ORACLE_HOME 
/u02/proddb/9.2.0 
[oracle@app2 install]$ export ORACLE_HOME=/u02/testdb/9.2.0 
[oracle@app2 install]$ export ORACLE_SID=TEST 
[oracle@app2 dbs]$ export
PATH=/u02/testdb/9.2.0/bin:/u02/testdb/9.2.0/Apache/perl/bin:/u02/testdb/9.2.0/bin:
/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/u02/testdb/9.2.0/jre/1.4.2/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:

/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/java/jre1.5.0_06/bin:/u01/oracle/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin 
[oracle@app2 install]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin 
[oracle@app2 bin]$ pwd 
/u02/testdb/9.2.0/bin 
[oracle@app2 bin]$ relink all 
 
 
7. Create all the ifiles, bdump/udump/cdump directories as per new architecture 
 
 
8. Recreate Controlfile - 
SQL> STARTUP NOMOUNT PFILE=/u02/testdb/9.2.0/dbs/initTEST.ora 
ORACLE instance started.

Variable Size 402653184 bytes 
Database Buffers 167772160 bytes 
Redo Buffers 10629120 bytes 
SQL> CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE SET DATABASE \"TEST\" RESETLOGS

2 -- SET STANDBY TO MAXIMIZE PERFORMANCE 
.... .... .... 
52 \'/u02/testdata/a_ref02.dbf\' 
53 CHARACTER SET US7ASCII 
54 ; 
 
 
Control file created. 
 
 
SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS; 
 
 
Database altered. 
 
 
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE TEMP ADD TEMPFILE \'/u02/testdata/temp01.dbf\' 
SIZE 1100M REUSE AUTOEXTEND OFF; 2 
 
 
Tablespace altered. 
 
 
-------------------- 
9. Rename appsTier dir structure 
10. Edit setup_stubs.sh to reflect these changes. 
[oracle@app2 bin]$ vi /u02/testora/iAS/setup_stubs.sh 
[oracle@app2 bin]$ export ORACLE_HOME=/u02/testora/8.0.6 
[oracle@app2 bin]$ export ORACLE_SID=TEST 
 
 
10. Call clonecontext to create new context-file - 
[oracle@app2 testcomn]$ cd /u02/testappl/ad/11.5.0/bin/ 
/usr/bin/java -classpath ../../../fnd/11.5.0/java/3rdparty/stdalone/jdbc111.zip:

11. From a different terminal, run autoconfig 
[oracle@app2 bin]$ perl adconfig.pl contextfile=/u02/testappl/admin/TEST_app2.xml appspass=apps 
 
 
12. Start the services.
